How Google integration works

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

To integrate with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, you need to enter the tracking ID in the system settings of DreamApply. DreamApply integrates with Google products through:

Google Analytics: Measurement ID for a data stream, for example: G-XXXXXXXXXX
Google Tag Manager: Container ID, for example: GTM-XXXXXXX

DreamApply automatically injects the required tracking script into the DreamApply portal. DreamApply uses gtag.js — a single global tag that sends data to several Google services:

Integrate with Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a web analytics service that collects and reports data about user interactions with websites and apps. You can use it to understand user behavior in the DreamApply portal, measure traffic and evaluate performance of the DreamApply pages.

To integrate with Google Analytics, perform the following tasks:

Get the Measurement ID
Configure integration settings
Configure consent settings

Before you begin

Make sure you have a Google Analytics account.
To integrate with DreamApply, your account must have the Superuser role or the instance permission.

Get the Measurement ID

You need to create a data stream in Google Analytics and get a Measurement ID for this stream. The Measurement ID is a unique identifier that links DreamApply to a specific GA4 property and tells Google Analytics where to send data collected with gtag.js.

Integrate with Google Tag Manager

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that allows marketing teams to add and update analytics, advertising and conversion tracking codes without modifying the monitored website.

To integrate with Google Tag Manager, perform the following tasks:

Get the Container ID
Configure integration settings
Configure consent settings

Adding an external tag manager will necessarily cause foreign code to run within the DreamApply system. The use of such external code invalidates several key security assumptions, and DreamApply may no longer be able to safeguard the security of your data. Please be mindful of the tags that you add and make sure that the authors of those tags can be trusted. For details, see Integration disclaimer.

Before you begin

Make sure you have a Google Tag Manager account.
To integrate with DreamApply, your account must have the Superuser role or the instance permission.

Get the Container ID

You need to create a container for your DreamApply portal in Google Tag Manager and get a Container ID for it.
